About SSA

Scientific Safety Alliance (SSA) exists to Accelerate Science. Delightfully. We're a 100% founder- and employee-owned company that has acquired 19 companies in just over 2.5 years and is rising on Inc. Magazine's list of America's fastest-growing privately held companies in both 2024 and 2025.

We serve the life sciences and biotech industries — pharmaceutical, biotech, hospital, and research facilities — keeping the controlled environments and precision instruments behind critical scientific work compliant, accurate, and ready. Our mission is simple: remove the friction so our customers can focus on advancing science.

Calyx is the SSA operating company you'd be joining. Our technicians support Healthcare Technology Management (HTM), Clinical Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering departments at some of the most prestigious healthcare systems and biotech organizations across the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Midwest.

About This Role

We're hiring trainees, not experienced calibration technicians.

For years, Calyx has built its team by hiring driven people with the right attitude and foundational knowledge — then teaching them the trade. Some of our best senior technicians came up exactly this way, and we're getting back to that path. We're looking for people who want to learn a precision technical trade, build a long-term career, and grow with a fast-moving company.

You'll be paid to learn. Most trainees become fully proficient in 6 months; some pick it up in as little as 2–3. Throughout, you'll work alongside experienced technicians who will mentor you, on-site at customer facilities and in our State College office.

What You'll Do

  • Travel Monday through Thursday, home every weekend
  • Spend 1 week per month at our State College office
  • Ability to provide vaccination records: Hepatitis B, MMR, Tuberculosis, Varicella, and Influenza, or willingness to meet customer vendor requirements
  • Work side-by-side with experienced technicians who will train you on the equipment, the procedures, and the customer relationships
  • Follow precise written calibration procedures with care and accuracy
  • Document your work thoroughly to support compliance and continuity
  • Build trusted relationships with customers ranging from warehouse staff to biomedical engineers to directors
  • Spend approximately one week per month at the State College office on rotation, supporting the team and continuing your training

Day One Requirements — What You Bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Basic math: percentages, measurements, unit conversions
  • Strong reading comprehension — you can follow detailed written instructions precisely
  • Some hands-on technical aptitude (from school, military, trade work, or a serious hobby)
  • Willingness to travel approximately 3 weeks per month, Monday through Thursday, with weekends home
  • Ability to provide vaccination records: Hepatitis B, MMR, Tuberculosis, Varicella, and Influenza, or willingness to meet customer vendor requirements
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Authorized to work in the United States

What We'll Train You On — No Experience Needed

  • Precision calibration of biomedical and laboratory equipment
  • Use of oscilloscopes, electronic analyzers, and electro-mechanical instrumentation
  • Physics fundamentals you'll use every day: electronics, physiological measurements, airflow, liquid flow, mass, dimensional, temperature, humidity, sound, light, and pressure
  • Writing and following calibration procedures and test methods
  • Communicating effectively with customers from technician to director level
  • Documentation and compliance standards in regulated environments

Who We're Looking For

  • Recent grads in electronics, engineering technology, instrumentation, biomedical equipment, or a related technical field — 2-year and 4-year degrees both welcome
  • Military transitioners, especially those with electronics, calibration, or biomedical equipment backgrounds
  • Trade school grads in electronics, HVAC, instrumentation, or similar
  • Career changers with strong mechanical or electronic aptitude and a real desire to learn

You don't need to know calibration. You do need to be reliable, precise, curious, and comfortable on the road.

Why This Job

  • Paid training — earn while you learn a high-demand precision technical trade
  • Equity ownership in SSA — every team member has a stake in the outcome
  • Real career path — many of our senior techs came up through this exact track
  • Stability — life sciences and healthcare don't slow down

Benefits

  • Equity ownership in SSA
  • 401(k) match
  • 100% paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
  • Life insurance
  • Generous paid time off
  • Parental leave

If you've got the work ethic, the attention to detail, and the curiosity to learn — we want to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
